Immunolocalization of Arthropsin in the Onychophoran Euperipatoides rowelli (Peripatopsidae)
Opsins are light-sensitive proteins that play a key role in animal vision and are related to the ancient photoreceptive molecule rhodopsin found in unicellular organisms. In general, opsins involved in vision comprise two major groups: the rhabdomeric (r-opsins) and the ciliary opsins (c-opsins). The functionality of opsins, which is dependent on their protein structure, may have changed during...
متن کامل15-P019 Neurogenesis in the onychophoran Euperipatoides kanangrensis
Our analyses of early neurogenesis in several representatives of chelicerates (e.g. spiders) and myriapods (e.g. millipedes) have revealed that the genetic network involved in recruitment and specification of neural precursors is conserved in all euarthropod groups. However, the expression pattern and function of these genes is adapted to the distinct morphology of neural precursor formation in...
متن کاملEarly development in the velvet worm Euperipatoides kanangrensis Reid 1996 (Onychophora: Peripatopsidae)
We present here a description of early development in the onychophoran Euperipatoides kanangrensis with emphasis on processes that are ambiguously described in older literature. Special focus has been on the pattern of early cleavage, blastoderm and germinal disc development and gastrulation. The formation of the blastopore, stomodeum and proctodeum is described from sectioned material using li...
متن کاملSpectral sensitivity in Onychophora (velvet worms) revealed by electroretinograms, phototactic behaviour and opsin gene expression.
Onychophorans typically possess a pair of simple eyes, inherited from the last common ancestor of Panarthropoda (Onychophora+Tardigrada+Arthropoda). These visual organs are thought to be homologous to the arthropod median ocelli, whereas the compound eyes probably evolved in the arthropod lineage. To gain insights into the ancestral function and evolution of the visual system in panarthropods, ...
متن کاملNeuronal tracing of oral nerves in a velvet worm—Implications for the evolution of the ecdysozoan brain
As one of the closest relatives of arthropods, Onychophora plays an important role in understanding the evolution of arthropod body plans. Currently there is controversy surrounding the evolution of the brain among the ecdysozoan clades, which shows a collar-shaped, circumoral organization in cycloneuralians but a ganglionic architecture in panarthropods. Based on the innervation pattern of lip...
